Interface NotSoOpaqueCredentials

All Superinterfaces:

IOpaqueCredentials, Serializable

public interface NotSoOpaqueCredentials
extends IOpaqueCredentials

This is a provider-specific extention to the standard opaque credentials that is designed to work with the caching security context. This interface adds a method that removes a bit of the opacity of the original by providing means of retreiving a stored credential. See the warnings and caveats associated with the CacheSecurityContext provider.
